Hi, There is a bug in the pagination of the screencasts, whereby if you select a subject matter (such as SQL Server) then click the number of the next page, it doesn't remember the subject you selected. The TagID from the first URL : http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=38&TagID=28 is not passed to the second page.
